TOUR UPDATE #2
So...we just got back home yesterday from tour. The last week of shows have been amazing, couldn't have asked for anything better. Unfortunately we had to cancel the last week of the tour due to an emergency. To everyone who was going to come out to all of those shows we are truly sorry and hope that you understand that we needed to be home to get everything situated. Thank you to all of the promoters who booked us on this tour and to the ones that booked the shows that we were not able to play.
We will make sure to come through those cities we did not hit up on the next tour. Now to recap the last few shows, the Atlanta show was amazing, one of the best shows we played on this tour. We've played there numerous times before and the reaction we got was insane, it was good to hang with some of our Atlanta friends again for a few days and hang out in the city.
After Atlanta we hit up Harrisonburg, VA and then Baltimore, MD both shows were really fun. From Baltimore we drove a few hours and stayed in Brooklyn for a few days with our good friend Reggie, it was a blast just having the day off going through the city eating a ton of vegan food and checking out all the stores. Wildcat was able to hang with Katie Holmes as she was shopping at some expensive store, keep on the lookout for any paparazzi shots with wildcat in the background, look out Tom Cruise! The next day we played Brooklyn, the show was awesome, the venue was a sick as well. Unfortunately before our set Wildcat suffered some head trauma, the best way to understand what really went down is to look below at the diagram and figure it out for yourself...

This is what happens when champ decides to join in on all of the fun, he clearly failed. Moving on the show went well, we played the set without Wildcat and ended up only playing like 4 songs, but what are ya going to do. Incendiary played the show as well and they were awesome, i picked up their 7" and it rules, make sure you check them out if you haven't already. We left Brooklyn the next fay for Edison, NJ, we played their a few weeks ago with the Mongoloids and Trapped Under Ice, both shows were really fun.
I'm glad I chose not to ride in the foundation van that night, because 30 minutes into their drive towards Syracuse they were pulled over and searched for drugs for over an hour, of coarse the cherry toppers didn't find anything except for fireworks which were seized. Luckily they made it back to cuse well after we did. The Syracuse show was great, thanks to everyone that came out and showed their support! Its Alive played that night as well and they were tight as ever, they just got added to reaper so be ready to check that out, their integrity cover was ill. We left that morning for Boston and were able to hang in the city for a while, tomdom and i decided to get ignorant and get forfeit crew dog tags made, hard. We played Haverhill that night and it was a fun show, the venue was really cool. One of the coolest venues we got to play on this tour. That show was foundation's last show and ended up being our last show of the tour as well. Again thanks for everyone who came out to all of the shows, and all the promoters for letting us play, and to Whitey and Sam Yarmuth for being great road dawgs.
Right now we are home working on writing new songs for the LP, that will be out in early summer on Reaper. I'm sure we will be updating you on the writing process and how everything is going in the studio in the near future, in the meantime check out the new comp coming out on Reaper Records.

TOUR UPDATE #1
We are one week into our tour now and it has been going great. Last night we played the Cave 9 in Birmingham, AL with Down to Nothing, the Mongoloids, Swamp Thing, Mother of Mercy and Bad Seed. It was the last show at Cave 9 and it couldn't have gone any better. Looking forward to come through Birmingham and play at the new cave 9 down the road.
The night before on new years eve we played Chattanooga, TN. It was at a house and was surprisingly a good time amidst the endless amount of dirty punk druggers. React! records own Mindset had a killer set and an awesome Warzone cover to boot.
We met up with our good friends in Foundation a few days ago and will be playing the next 12 or so days with them. Tonight we're playing Atlanta with Foundation, Down to Nothing and more. Check back for more updates!
